Boundaried, Open-Minded, Flow-Oriented
I'm private but warm
Aim for both non-judgement and non-attachment
Arab-American, I'm taking a year off from my Master's degree in Education in Brooklyn NY to travel, live with family, and learn Arabic
Not currently employed, though I've been teaching kids (rap, dance, music, theatre) for a few years now, so I am about that light budget life!
I love adventures, not into super touristy things
Appreciate people and places for their spiritual value
Anarchist at heart; adding love and positivity into humanity as we slowly wake up -- music is my main delivery vehicle

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want my traveling to be filled with people as much as places; the couchsurfing route feels more communal and personal than hostels or hotels. I'd like to learn about places from similar minds and share energy.
Trust individual humans more than systems :)
